I have devised a scheme to workaround when one's EEEPC 702 gets stuck thinking it is e.g., always 55 degrees C.,
I just have the fan spin minimally as it seems to usually be at a reasonable temperature to the touch that way. $ cat /etc/rc.local: if test X$(cat /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input) = X55000 then /etc/init.d/fancontrol start fi $ cat /etc/fancontrol #INTERVAL=10 INTERVAL=100 DEVPATH=hwmon0= hwmon1=devices/platform/eeepc DEVNAME=hwmon0=acpitz hwmon1=eeepc #FCTEMPS=hwmon1/pwm1=hwmon0/temp1_input FCTEMPS=hwmon1/pwm1=/root/bogus_jidanni_temperature #in which file I put 21000 so that the fan spins but minimally as my # EEEPC can't give accurate temp readings without often taking out the battery... FCFANS= hwmon1/pwm1=hwmon1/fan1_input MINTEMP=hwmon1/pwm1=20 MAXTEMP=hwmon1/pwm1=60 MINSTART=hwmon1/pwm1=150 MINSTOP=hwmon1/pwm1=100 Hmmm, maybe I should just remove fancontrol and make it spin minimally directly in /etc/rc.local . Of course I never compute intensively so No Warranty, Don't do like me else you might burn your computer, even if pleasanter on the ears. _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
